Toyota Oil Change at Dealer - Do they check the ECU?

What have other experienced?

After a track day, they can just look at your tires and tell that you've been on the track or will say that the car has been abused. Generally not a problem unless you try to get them to fix something like a wheel bearing problem under warranty.

Yes, I agree it's dealer dependent.

Now the Audi is different since to reset the maintenance light it's easier to plug in the scan tool, on newer ones you have plug in a VAS / VAG scan tool to reset the light.

Your screen name is no ka oi.
